Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: worth a read
Some of the comments show just how blinkered and clueless some of the rah rahs fans are. One guy, whilst agreeing with the gist of the article, goes on to say it's becoming like RL, that most boring of games. A slug fest with 8 slow fat forwards per side and backs that never see the ball, played at what they claim to be the pinnacle of their sport must surely take the prize for boring.
